Just some stuff

  • It's official - Priya now walks around, and when she sees my picture points to it and says "Papa." We had water baptisms during the morning meeting today, and while I was in the tub, she was squirming in Tish's lap going "Papa.. papa..." Now I need to hear her say it!
  • Yay for eBay again. Somewhere I had mentioned that I was looking for a all-in-one photo printer. After looking and bidding for a couple of months, I finally won the printer I had my eye on - HP 2710. It does scanning, faxing, copying and six-color printing. And like most devices in my house, is also wireless. Why a photo printer when prints at Walgreens are 19 cents you ask? Well, I realized that if all you want is one or two pictures, then it's more of a hassle to run out there. And you end up buying more stuff anyway!
  • Keeping in line with wireless devices, I'm also looking at the Nikon Coolpix S7c. Anyone have any experience with Nikon digital cameras?

  • Here's a picture of Priya getting oil in her hair. This is as common in India as it is uncommon here. Of course, no one can beat the hair on baby Cora.

  • Today was the first day I saw Priya bleed. She fell on the kitchen floor and bit her lip. At first I didn't even notice it, but then I saw her sucking in her blood. It wasn't too bad, but I had a little poignant moment seeing her bleed. To make up for it, we went to get some Cold Stone ice cream.
  • For cost cutting measures, my work is requiring us to take the whole week of Thanksgiving and Christmas off. I'm not complaining too much.

yah, i'd like to hear more about the oil too. What's it good for?

I saw pictures of Cora, very cute... but I can't believe you wouldn't vote for Addy's mullet? After all, they are the rage in England right now.... hehe

vaseline... hmmm.. talk about being a real grease monkey!

there's a whole industry in the eastern hemisphere in regards to hair oil. the most common is probably coconut oil, but there's other kinds too. i didn't go as fancy. the idea is not as much the kind of oil, as is the stimulation to the hair and roots. so i just used what we have - johnsons baby oil. you have to use the tips of your fingers to do the rubbing in (anyone ever get a scalp massage?).

baby oil washes off pretty easily (as you can imagine). maybe we can line up all the kids one day and uncle bipin can give hair massages! :-)

I think I am going to try it on Abigails head, as her hair is non exsistant!!!
